Simon John James

Professor of Victorian Fiction, Durham University

My research interests are largely in the literary culture of the 19th- and early 20th-century periods, especially late Victorian and Edwardian fiction.

I have published on George Gissing, H G Wells, Marie Corelli, George du Maurier and Evelyn Waugh. Current research also includes a monograph on the male bond in fin-de-siècle literature, and an interdisciplinary project on time, memory and consciousness in Dickens.
